Martha Reams was also home when a tree came crashing down on her house.

"Two seconds," said Reams. "It would have taken us out. We wouldn't have survived that tree coming down on the van. It came right down where my grandkids were sitting. We're blessed. I don't care about this house. I don't care about any of it. My grandkids are safe. We were on our way to church. I said, boy, the devil is doing his work today."

Reams had a difficult time reporting her power outage. Dominion tells us their customer service line is down.

The best way to report outages, for the time being, is on a smart phone at m.dom.com. More than 20,000 people were without power at the height of the storm.

Those numbers were down to just below 8,000 Thursday night. Most of the outages were in Hanover.
